Legal Request

Poke operates as a privacy-friendly frontend for YouTube and does not host or store video content. All material viewed through Poke originates directly from YouTube’s servers. As such, copyright claims concerning specific videos or media should be directed to YouTube, not Poke.

Poke does not modify, rehost, or alter YouTube content in any way. Our systems act purely as a transient intermediary under 17 U.S.C. § 512(a), transmitting publicly accessible data.

If you believe that Poke has improperly displayed or proxied material in a way that violates your copyright, please first confirm whether the material appears directly on YouTube. If it does, the proper channel for resolution is YouTube’s DMCA takedown form.

Use This As A Last Option

This form should only be used if your issue specifically concerns how Poke is displaying or proxying material and you have already determined that the matter cannot be fully resolved through YouTube directly. If the content exists on YouTube itself, that platform is usually the first and proper place to send a copyright complaint.

Privacy of Submitted Information

The information is sent directly from your email address to our legal team. We retain these emails solely for legal compliance and do not share personal details with third parties unless compelled by a court order.

DMCA Declaration

These declarations are only required for DMCA takedown requests. Please read them carefully before continuing. By checking these boxes and typing the confirmation phrase, you are confirming that your request is formal and legally intended.

I have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

The information in this notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, I am the owner, or an agent authorised to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

I understand that this form should be used only as a last option for Poke-specific display or proxy concerns, and that complaints about material hosted on YouTube should normally be sent to YouTube first.

Type this exactly: I ACCEPT FOR THE REQUEST

This extra confirmation helps show that the declaration was read and intentionally accepted.
